  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

(First embodiment)
FIG. 1 shows a medicine packaging machine according to this embodiment. This medicine packaging machine is generally a conventionally known packaging device having a V 枡 1, a plurality of divided containers 2 disposed below the V 枡 1, and a hopper 3 for sequentially receiving the drugs from each divided container 2. (Not shown).

  As shown in FIG. 2, the end plate 5 is fixed to both ends of the side plate 4.

  The side plate 4 has an upper end 4a that protrudes obliquely rearward and a lower end 4b that extends at a right angle (horizontal) rearward. A protrusion 4c is formed at the center of the lower end. Further, on the back surface of the side plate 4, a protrusion 4 d is provided so as to face the protrusion 4 c at the lower end.

  The end plate 5 is provided with an opening / closing plate 6 so as to be rotatable about a support shaft 6a. The opening / closing plate 6 rotates between an open position and a closed position around the support shaft 6 a by driving a motor (not shown), and the lower edge thereof is brought into contact with and separated from the lower edge of the side plate 4. In the closed position, the opening / closing plate 6 and the side plate 4 are configured to have a substantially V-shaped cross section.

  In addition, a partition plate 7 is disposed in the V 1 so that its position can be changed depending on how much medicine is divided.

  As shown in FIG. 3A and FIG. 7, the partition plate 7 includes a slide member 8 and a partition member 9.

  The slide member 8 is slidably guided along the upper edge of the side plate 4, and the guide receiver extends from the slide receiver 10 to the front side of the side plate 4 (that is, inside the V 枡 1). Part 11.

  The slide receiving portion 10 has a U-shaped cross section, guides the upper end portion 4a of the side plate 4 protruding obliquely rearward, and reciprocates along the upper end portion 4a. An extending portion 12 extends from one end portion of the slide receiving portion 10 (the end portion located on the back side of the side plate 4). As shown in FIG. 3B, through holes 12a are formed at two locations on the lower end side of the extending portion 12, and the holding plate 13 is fixed by screws using these through holes 12a.

  A pair of upper and lower rollers 14 are rotatably attached to the holding plate 13 on the side plate side. The roller 14 has a circumferential groove 14a formed on the outer peripheral surface at the center along the circumferential direction. The circumferential groove 14a is guided by the protrusions 4c and 4d formed on the upper and lower surfaces of the side plate 4, respectively. The holding plate 13 is provided with a detected portion 15 made of a pair of upper and lower permanent magnets on the side opposite to the side plate 4. The detected portion 15 is detected by a sensor 27 described later, and is used to determine the position of the partition plate 7.

  The guide receiving portion 11 extends from the slide receiving portion 10 and gradually spreads to occupy the upper side portion of the V 枡 1. The edge on the side plate side of the guide receiving portion 11 is positioned so as to form a slight gap along the front surface from the upper end portion of the side plate 4 to avoid interference (generation of frictional resistance) when sliding. . Further, the edge of the guide receiving portion 11 opposite to the side plate 4 bulges out in an arc shape to increase the strength and make it difficult to be damaged, and it can be easily slid without being injured even if the user grips it. Yes. Further, a guide groove 17 in which a guide portion 18 of a partition member 9 to be described later is positioned is formed in a substantially lower half portion of the guide receiving portion 11 by a guide receiving plate 16 facing at a predetermined interval. The lower edge portion (including the bottom surface of the guide groove 17) of the guide receiving plate 16 is located at a position parallel to the opening / closing plate 6 in the closed position.

  The reciprocating movement of the partition plate 7, that is, the slide member 8, may be performed by driving a motor (not shown), or may be performed manually by directly gripping the partition plate 7.

  The partition member 9 can be formed by molding a synthetic resin material. On the upper side of the partition member 9, a guide portion 18 is formed that is slidably disposed in the groove portion. The side plate side edge portion 9 a of the partition member 9 is formed in a straight line shape and abuts on the side plate 4. The lower side edge portion 9b of the partition member 9 is formed obliquely with respect to the side plate side edge portion 9a, and constitutes a first contact portion 19 that contacts the opening / closing plate 6 in the closed position. A second abutting portion 20 that abuts the opening / closing plate 6 at the open position is provided on an edge portion (outer edge portion) 9c opposite to the side plate side edge portion 9a of the partition member 9 that is continuous with the lower side edge portion 9b. Is formed. The remaining portion of the outer edge portion 9 c is configured by an arc or a plurality of tapered portions, and is along the rotation locus of the opening / closing plate 6. The upper side edge portion and the lower side edge portion of the guide portion 18 are formed in parallel, and when the partition member 9 is slid, the guide portion 18 extends along the guide groove 17 of the guide receiving portion 11 and the lower side edge. Each of the portions 9b slides obliquely upward along the opening / closing plate 6 in the closed position. Note that the occupied space in the height direction of the partition member 9 can be sufficiently partitioned even when the amount of medicine for one package is maximum.

  In addition, the auxiliary plate 21 is attached to the partition member 9 so as to be rotatable about the shaft portion 21a. The shaft portion 21a is fixed to the auxiliary plate 21 from the side where the medicine in the V collar 1 is not accommodated, and only the auxiliary plate 21 is located on the medicine accommodation side. Further, the shaft portion 21 a is formed in the vicinity of the support shaft 6 a that is the rotation center of the opening / closing plate 6. The auxiliary plate 21 has a thin plate shape, and one end of the lower side edge portion 9 b is located at a boundary position between the first contact portion 19 and the second contact portion 20 of the partition member 9. In addition, an inclined edge portion 9c that is inclined with respect to the lower side edge portion is formed on the other end side of the lower side edge portion 9b. And when the said opening-and-closing plate 6 is located in a closed position, the lower side edge part 9b is contact | abutted with the opening-and-closing plate 6 with the 1st contact part 19 of the partition member 9, and is extended on the same straight line. Further, the lower side edge portion contacts the opening / closing plate 6 together with the second contact portion 20 of the partition member 9 when the opening / closing plate 6 is located at the open position. Thereby, even if the opening / closing plate 6 is rotated, the auxiliary plate 21 always maintains the contact state with the opening / closing plate 6, and is formed between the outer edge 9 c of the partition member 9 and the opening / closing plate 6. To prevent the medicine from spilling to the side (not directly below the dividing container 2).

  As shown in FIG. 2, at least a number corresponding to the number of sachets (the number of divided medicines accommodated in V 枡 1) is arranged below the V 枡 1 in a state where there are no gaps. It consists of a plurality of possible settings. The division container 2 is supported by a support base 22, and can be reciprocated along the longitudinal direction of the V 枡 1 through a rack 24 and a pinion 25 by driving a motor 23. The rotation amount, rotation angle, rotation position, and the like of the motor 23 are detected by the encoder 26. Further, the support base 22 is provided with a sensor 27 so that the detected portion 15 provided on the holding plate 13 can be detected. The medicine dropped from V 枡 1 by opening the opening / closing plate 6 at the position where the detected portion 15 is detected by the sensor 27 is equally divided by the same number of divided containers 2 as set by the partition plate 7. Is contained. A bottom plate 2a is provided on the bottom surface of each divided container 2 so as to be openable and closable. By sequentially opening the bottom plate 2a, it is supplied to a packaging device and can be packaged one by one.

  In the medicine packaging machine configured as described above, the medicine is equally divided and packaged as follows.

  First, the partition plate 7 is moved by driving a motor (not shown) or manually, and stopped at a position where the number of divisions corresponds to the number of packages to be packaged. And a medicine is stored in V 枡 1. At this time, as shown in FIG. 4, the partition member 9 of the partition plate 7 makes its first contact portion 19 abut on the surface of the open / close plate 6 in the inclined state at the closed position by its own weight. Then, the side plate side edge portion 9 a comes into contact with the surface of the side plate 4 by the reaction force. Therefore, a good partition state can be formed. Further, the motor 23 is driven to move each of the divided containers 2 so that all of the medicine dropped from the V 枡 1 can be collected by the divided containers 2.

  Subsequently, by driving a motor (not shown), the opening / closing plate 6 is rotated about the support shaft 6 a and opened so that the lower end portion is separated from the side plate 4. At this time, the partition member 9 gradually releases the contact state from the state in which the first contact portion 19 is in contact with the opening / closing plate 6 at the closed position of the opening / closing plate 6, and the second contact portion 20. Approaches the opening / closing plate 6. Then, when the opening / closing plate 6 is located at the open position, as shown in FIG. 5, the second contact portion 20 contacts the opening / closing plate 6 and further opening operation is prevented. During this time, the auxiliary plate 21 rotates around the shaft portion 21 a and maintains a contact state with the opening / closing plate 6. That is, even if the opening / closing plate 6 is opened, a gap is not generated at the partition position by the partition plate 7. Further, during the pivoting operation of the opening / closing plate 6, the contact state between the opening / closing plate 6 and the side plate 4 is maintained by the dead weight of the partition member 9 as described above. Can be obtained. For this reason, the medicine dropped from the inside of the V tub 1 is all collected by the lower divided container 2 without being spilled to the side, and is divided equally.

  Next, the motor 23 is driven again to move the divided container 2, and sequentially positioned above the hopper 3. Thereafter, the bottom plate is opened in order from the divided container 2 moved above the hopper 3 and packaged one by one.

  In this way, if the medicine in V 分割 1 is divided into divided containers 2 and packaged one by one by the packaging device, before the next medicine is put into V 枡 1, to clean up. In cleaning the inside of the V tub 1, the residual medicine is sucked by the cleaner 28 (equipped with the medicine packaging machine), but before that, as shown in FIG. 6, the partition member 9 of the partition plate 7 is removed. . Since the partition member 9 is in a state in which the guide portion 18 is merely guided by the guide receiving portion 11 of the slide member 8, the partition member 9 can be easily removed simply by grasping and sliding it obliquely upward along the opening / closing plate 6. be able to. Accordingly, not only can the remaining drug hidden by the partition plate 7 that has been difficult to clean conventionally be removed easily and reliably, but also the partition plate 7 itself can be easily cleaned. .

  When the cleaning is completed, the partition member 9 can be easily returned to the original state simply by guiding the guide portion to the guide receiving portion 11 of the slide member 8 while sliding along the opening / closing plate 6. Can do.

(Second Embodiment)
8 and 9 show the partition plate 7 according to the second embodiment.

  In this partition plate 7, the tip portion of the slide member 8, that is, the guide receiving portion 11 side is connected to the slide receiving portion 10 side so as to be rotatable around the hinge portion 29. It is different, and is common in other points.

  In the case of the partition plate 7 having such a configuration, when the inside of the V collar 1 is cleaned, as shown in FIG. 8, by rotating the guide receiving portion 11 side of the slide member 8 around the hinge portion 29, The partition member 9 can be easily removed from the inside of the V collar 1. In addition, the part of the slide member 8 located in the V 枡 1 (including the upper part) can be retracted. Therefore, it is possible to smoothly clean the inside of V 枡 1 without any obstacles.

  The partition member 9 can be removed by sliding along the opening / closing plate 6 in the same manner as in the first embodiment before rotating a part of the slide member 8.
